Your website pages and printed materials say more about you than the
words they contain: they tell the public about your attention to
detail, your ability to communicate, your professionalism.

Errors
in spelling, punctuation or grammar may cost you clients. Errors in
consistency and poor use
of language can cause confusion and
misunderstanding, resulting in disputes and, possibly, legal action.

When you've been heavily involved in writing material for
publication, it's very easy to miss mistakes, simply because you are
too close to the material. You need someone who is independent and
dispassionate to proofread your work.

Reliance on spellcheckers and grammar checkers on your computer
can lead to complacency. Most computer software is produced in
America and uses US English, so you may be persuaded towards
incorrect spelling. Furthermore, a spellchecker will not correct homophones
(e.g. there and their). Use the wrong one and you've created a mistake
that your potential clients will spot.

In addition to proofreading and editorial services, I can offer
facilities for drafting website and advertising material, providing
copy that will be ready for publication.

The use of clear, plain English, grammatically correct and
without spelling errors, will boost the quality of all material you
publish and consequently boost your income.
